adminMadigan (2) has an impressive record of five wins and three places in its eight career runs. Tomorrow, the equine athlete will get the services of regular jockey Quinton Riddle as the partnership guns for the fifth successive win. Riddle piloted Madigan to a win over Candyman in a 2 000m sprint and it will be seen if the horse will last the extra distance this time.
The feature race is only open to three-year-olds and has R14 000 in stakes.
It’s the third leg of the Triple Crown and has the chestnut gelding Alula Borealis on number on the card.
Alula Borealis is coming from the Lisa Harris stable and will have Randall Simons on board.
The runner had been off-form in its last two sprints and will have to rediscover the fine form to get a place.
Harris also brings in Eurosilver (3) with Juan Paul Van De Marwe as Gohkan Terzi sends Thatwasblaszing (4). Thatwasblazing could fancy getting a place while at number five is Wildcat Brookie and That Was Bacon all by Swanson.
Alyson Wright’s Apachi Rush (6) is coming to the race after a victory in the last sprint and could pose the biggest threat to Madigan as Susan Odendaal enters Moment In The Sun.
The FBC Derby is a grade three event and will have seven other under-card races on the day.
